X not starting at all
Hello,
it's me again.
Thanks again for the help you guys gave me when I had a problem with my modules.
from when I had installed Woody, I was not able to startx as I have a Geforce4 MX 440 SE which was not supported by the nv driver in X (I have version 4.1.0.1)
I got a new driver from the Nvidia site (the latest is pkg2 I think, I have pkg0 ).I installed it and yet startx would not work.
since X loads its drivers from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers , I moved the new NV module (nvidia.ko ) and renamed it nv_drv.o which was the nv driver (this is illogical, I know , but I was desperate.....) and it gave me another error message module does not have nvModuledata data object and died on me. I just got Gnome 2.4 and I'm desperate to install it.
So anybody with the ideas flashing,
HELP!
thanx in advance,
Joy

From the looks of it you are using a 2.6 kernel... You have to have
patched NVIDIA drivers to make this work. You will probably get better support at http://www.nvnews.net, but IIRC, installing these drivers will get you working. (It did for me)

Here is the link to the 2.6 patched NVIDIA drivers:

I did that, and all I got was the same error: X was trying to load the same nv driver even though the compilation process sucessfully installedf the nvidia.ko driver. How do I work around this?
